Chapter 236 - TRIPLETS ARRIVAL

Days flew by quickly and it was almost time before Lie Ruge was due to give birth. The love and care everyone had given to her during this period of her pregnancy was so overwhelming. Jiang Xue, Xiao Bai, Yun Yi and Tan Fan took turns visiting her at her office and the Mansion just to keep the husband and wife company. Yi Lan and Madam Yi personally forbid Lie Ruge from ordering food outside due to fear that those who prepared the food might have made mistakes. They knew that with the fact that Lie Ruge had a severe allergy to shrimps even a little mistake in her meal might lead to serious complications for both mother and child. That is why they always took turns in bringing her nutritious meals.

"Ge'er, how are my godson and goddaughters? I hope you are taking care of them very well," Xiao Bai asked as she passed a cup of warm water to Lie Ruge.

"Your godsons are in perfect condition but they won't stop being mischievous," Lie Ruge said meekly as she rubbed her protruding stomach.

"Are they still fighting inside you? Just take it easy with them Ge'er. I bet they are all excited because they will be out of there in a month's time. They just can't wait to meet their pretty mum and handsome dad. I'm sure they are also excited to meet me, their caring godmother," Xiao Bai said smiling charmingly. The truth is, the four of them have been fighting over who will be the godfather and godmother of the unborn children since the day they heard that Lie Ruge was carrying triplets in her w.o.m.b. None of them were willing to leave the spot for the other.

"If they are this mischievous while still in my belly I wonder how naughty they will be when they finally come out," Lie Ruge said.

"I'm sure they will be so adorable. Your daughters will be as pretty as their mother. I am sure of it. And being mischievous is not a bad thing but it is cute. I am a hundred percent sure that you won't be able to resist their charms when they are out," Xiao Bai said confidently.

"Mum said the same thing too. BaiBai, I am so sorry and thankful to you and Yun Yi for postponing your wedding. I would have been so sad if I would not have been able to attend your wedding because of my pregnancy but don't worry I will personally make sure that your godsons will attend your wedding," Lie Ruge said sincerely.

"Really? This is great. Ge'er, you can't go back on your words ever ok? And you don't have to feel bad about us having to postpone our wedding. As you are aware, our wedding cannot be held without you. That is the promise we made many years ago, Yun Yi and I had to do this for our godchildren. Besides we wouldn't have postponed it had the doctor not said that you might go into labour on that particular day. It is already a blessing in disguise right now since my godson and goddaughters will be there," Xiao Bai said smiling delightedly. The expression on her face showcased that she was really happy to hear the news.

"I won't go back on my words, so don't worry. I and your godchildren will be there to witness the happiest day of you and Yun Yi's life," Lie Ruge said as she held her hands affectionately.

"Ge'er, I am sure that you have been staying inside your office the whole day so why don't we take a walk outside to get some fresh air. I bet you must be feeling so stuffy by now," Xiao Bai said.

"That is great. It is as if you knew exactly what I wanted. Let's go, we can even grab a bite at the restaurant close to my office," Lie Ruge said excitedly. Xiao Bai quickly helped her up before they went out for a walk. As they walked past her employees on their way out, it wasn't a new thing to them to see that their Boss was almost due since they are already used to that. Those who had hated her did not have any other choice but to like and wish her happiness in her marriage. Days rolled by quickly and now the one for Lie Ruge's due date has expired. The doctors had advised her to check into the hospital three days before her due date so that they could take care of her, but Lie Ruge, who still had a strong dislike for the hospitals, declined their offer. Yi Lan had to work from home because of that. The day she went into labour, Yi Lan was downstairs working on his laptop while she was upstairs in their room playing with their babies' newly bought clothes. She was trying to sew an embroidery design of a rose on the babies' clothes. She almost fell on the floor due to the sharp sudden pain she felt at her waist. Despite all the pain, she took wobbly steps out of the room to get help. As she screamed Yi Lan's name loudly, Yi Lan took to his heels when he finally heard his wife scream in pain. Within the blink of an eye, he was already standing beside her.

"Lanlan please help me! The babies are coming," Lie Ruge managed to utter these words. Yi Lan immediately carried her without wasting further time. The driver who was always on standby, quickly opened the door for Yi Lan when he saw him carrying their Madam, who was in severe pains. The maids, who were Madam Yi's important informant, immediately informed her of what happened after Yi Lan and Lie Ruge left the mansion. The children's delivery took longer than they had expected as everyone stood at the front of the delivery room expecting news from the doctors. Everyone was silently praying for the safety of both the mother and children. Yi Lan was so scared and nervous, he refused to sit down no matter how hard everyone tried to persuade him to sit down. He only agreed to sit down when it felt like his legs could not endure the stress of standing for more than eight hours. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when the doctors came out of the delivery room. Yi Lan sprang up to his feet when he saw the doctors.

"How are my wife and children? I hope they are alright?" Yi Lan asked anxiously.

"Congratulations, you are now a proud father. Your wife is alright but she just fell asleep due to being tired. All your three children are healthy and in perfect condition," the doctor said with a smile on his face.

"That is great. Doctor, are they all girls or all boys?" Jiang Xue asked out of curiosity.

"Mrs. Yi gave birth to two pretty girls and a boy. You guys can see her after she is brought to her room," the doctor said before he walked away.

"Wow! So it is Yi Lan's wish that came true, not sister Ge'er's wish. This is splendid," Xiao Bai said smiling triumphantly since she was the only one who had chosen to support Yi Lan.

"Is that important? The most important thing right now is for us to see how pretty and handsome our godchildren are," Tan Fan said happily. Madam Yi, Elder Yi and Elder Lie were so happy when they heard that both mother and children were in perfect condition. Since the delivery took longer than the speculated time, they thought that maybe she had some complications but thank goodness they are alright. They waited for a couple minutes before Lie Ruge was rolled out. Everyone was beaming with smiles when Lie Ruge finally woke up three hours later.

"My daughter has suffered so much during this period of pregnancy. Now you can relax. Thank you for being safe," Madam Yi said as she hugged Lie Ruge tightly.

"Sister-in-law, your girls look so pretty. They look just like you. I wanted to carry them but mum said that I shouldn't, so can I at least touch them a little," Yun Yi, who was always bold, asked meekly. Everyone was surprised to see him put on such a pitiful face when he asked Lie Ruge this.

"Hahaha... You look so hilarious. Of course, you can touch them but you have to wash your hands properly before you touch them," Lie Ruge answered as she laughed out heartily.

"Ge'er, we are allowed to touch them too right?" Xiao Bai asked anxiously.

"Of course all of you are allowed to touch my babies but you all must first wash your hands Ok? That is what the doctor said so please comply or else their strict dad might forbid all of you from laying a hand on his precious babies, alright?" Lie Ruge advised them softly as she threw Yi Lan an affectionate glare.

"Ok sister-in-law, we will do just that," Yun Yi said happily. After spending some quality time with Lie Ruge, everyone exited the room leaving the husband and wife alone.

"Are you sure you are alright? Is there anything you want? Food or anything else, just say it and I will have it brought before you right now," Yi Lan said as he caressed her face with his hands.

"Apart from the fact that my body has not recovered from the pain of child labour. It is still painful down there, but I am alright knowing that our little buns are in good health. So you don't have to worry about me. I only need you by my side, then I will be perfectly ok," Lie Ruge said caringly as she caressed his hand.

"Ge'er, I am so happy that you are alright. I was so scared that something bad had happened to you and our babies when the child delivery took longer than we had expected. Do you want to take a look at our babies? They are so unbelievably cute," Yi Lan said as his eyes shone brightly.

"I have already seen them earlier so let's just stay like this for a while longer before everyone enters again. I missed you so much hubby," Lie Ruge said as she gave her husband a warm embrace.

"I missed you too," Yi Lan responded back instantly. They chatted for thirty minutes before Yi Lan lied down beside her. They cuddle each other tightly to sleep forgetting that people were eagerly waiting for them outside.
